Abs

[priitk]

Hiya everyone.

I have some questions about abs...

I usually do abs twice a week..but can you do them everyday or everyother day...?

How long should I train them? I think I have that 8 minute ab video downstairs that I've never watched before is that a good video?

Any suggestions & tips about abs would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Your abs are a muscle like any other in your body. You should train them as such. I wouldn't do them more then twice a week.

I do abs twice a week also. I think 3x would be ideal for me, as they seem to recover fast, but I only do 2x.

Mental note to self.....start doing ABs more this week....

I trained them 5-6 days per week for 8 years. Sigh.... swim competitions through high school and college.

Right now, I have not trained them in over 2 years.

I am a FIRM believer in that fact if you want smaller abs to train them every chance you get. While true they are like any other muscle in your body, this is what you want to do and overtrain them to the point of shrinking and tightening. Often mistaken for spot reduction.
